Blockbuster Battle: Batman v Superman

With Batman v Superman set to smash into the cinemas soon for one of the biggest clashes in comic book history, we once again try to answer a never-ending debate. This time, who actually is better: Batman or Superman?

Suit

Let’s be honest, it takes confidence to wear that skin-tight red and blue outfit. Luckily, the man in it just happens to be a god-like being who can shoot laser beams from his eyes. But there is really only one winner when given the choice between that and a slick little black number with gadgets galore and a scare the shit out of criminals look. Although it only really works if you happen to have a god-like jawline…

Powers

There’s only one winner here. The son of Krypton could probably destroy the planet if he really wanted to. The bat of Gotham, with all his toys, is still no real match for Supes.

BATMAN 1 – 1 SUPERMAN

Ride

While Superman can pick up his girl (literally) and whisk her off on a date, Bats can offer his Russian supermodels the luxury of a windscreen, meaning they won’t turn up to restaurants with countless bugs in their teeth and the odd bird feather in their hair… oh, and he has the Batmobile! Batmobile wins!

BATMAN 2 – 1 SUPERMAN

Villains

Batman’s may be more iconic (Joker, Penguin, Riddler, Catwoman, Bane) but Superman’s are a hell of a lot stronger (Darkseid, Doomsday, Brainiac, Bizarro, Zod and the genius Lex Luthor). Power doesn’t always win the battle though, sometimes you need that little bit of charisma, and whole lot of crazy. We’ll call this one a draw.

BATMAN 3 – 2 SUPERMAN

Hollywood

While there have been a couple of Batman films worth forgetting (thanks a lot Joel Schumacher!) the rest have been pretty darn good! The same cannot be said about Superman. The man faster than a speeding bullet loses this one because of Superman IV alone.

Batman edges this one 4-2. Why? Because he’s Batman! Find out how the two of them will fare in Batman V Superman, out in cinemas worldwide from March 24th. It’s a shame we won’t see this musical rendition in the film though…
